Child Autonomy and Child Governance in Children's Literature
This book explores representations of child autonomy and self-governance in children’s literature.The idea of child rule and child realms is central to children’s literature, and childhood is frequently represented as a state of being, with children seen as aliens in need of passports to Adultland (and vice versa). In a sense all children’s literature depends on the idea that children are different, separate, and in command of their own imaginative spaces and places. Although the idea of child rule is a persistent theme in discussions of children’s literature (or about children and childhood) the metaphor itself has never been properly unpacked with critical reference to examples fro...

Of Innocence and Autonomy
This title was first published in 2000: This anthology of essays focuses on the human rights of children in the area of sexuality. Looking at the theoretical aspects, essays examine the history and construction of concepts of childhood and child sexuality, while other essays take an interdisciplinary approach, examining anthropological, sociological, psychological and economic perspectives on law and childhood sexuality. Specific problems that arise in litigation and judicial practice are looked at in more detail, and in some cases, comparative and international approaches are taken to the examination of law reform and initiatives in selected countries and in international organizations.

To Whom Do Children Belong?
This book offers a foundational defense of the rights of parents as primary educators of their children.
Parenting Matters
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being d...
Children's Autonomy, Social Competence, and Interactions with Adults and Other Children
Autonomy is a recognized goal of development. The primary developmental work on autonomy has focused on self-concept, identity, and personal agency. Recently, researchers have extended this work by examining connections between children's autonomy and interpersonal development, including studying the ways in which the development of autonomy is connected to children's methods of conflict resolution, their social knowledge, their social competence with peers, their socio-emotional knowledge, and their social coordination. Traditionally, autonomy and social development have been located in disparate research literatures. One goal of this volume is to bring together the work of researchers who ...
